Before you start mixing your ingredients, you'll need to prepare your cooker. Grease the inside of a 6-inch round cake tin and place it in the cooker. You can also line the tin with parchment paper for easy removal of the cake once it's done.
In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Make sure they are well mixed together.
In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This may take a few minutes, but it's important to ensure that the two are well combined.
Next, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, gradually pour in the milk while mixing until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Sift the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and fold them in gently until just combined. Add the dried fruit and nuts (if using) and fold them in as well.
Pour the batter into the prepared tin and smooth out the surface with a spatula.
Place the tin in the cooker and cover it with the lid. Set the cooker to low heat and let the cake bake for 1-1.5 hours. You can check if it's done by inserting a toothpick in the centre – if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
Once the cake is done, take it out of the cooker and let it cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Then, remove it from the tin and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
And there you have it – a delicious and simple Christmas cake made in your cooker. This recipe is perfect for those who want to save time and effort, but still want to enjoy a homemade Christmas treat. You can also customize the ingredients to your liking – add in some cranberries or chocolate chips for an extra special touch. Now, go impress your loved ones with this delectable Christmas cake!
